Interactive Visualization AII Overview The AASHTO Innovation Initiative (AII) advances innovation from the grassroots up: by agencies, for agencies, peer to peer. The program actively seeks out proven advancements in transportation technology, investing time and money to accelerate their adoption by agencies nationwide. Each year, the program selects valuable technologies, processes, software, or other innovations that have been adopted by at least one agency, are proven in use, and will be of significant benefit to other agencies. The Interactive Visualization innovation is a peer selected focus innovation for the AII. 2

Interactive Visualization Proposed Focus Technology Interactive Visualization is an emerging, new generation virtual reality based mode for project visualization 3D engineered models with proposed design information, existing as built roadways, proposed new landscaping, and surrounding project context including buildings and other structures More interactive and immersive experience, where the user participates in a virtual world experience Sense of being physically present in the environment with 360 panoramic views in a 3D simulated landscape of both natural and built environment 4
Interactive Visualization Goals & Objectives Create more effective involvement & engagement of both internal and external customers to foster project understanding Public is more engage and vocal in transportation related decisions Higher Expectations in their interactions with transportation agencies Take the next step in the Visual Experiences Meet the demand of the public by providing more experiential visualization including touch, simulations, virtual reality Also extend to the needs of stakeholder and technical peer reviews 5

What Makes It Different? 7
What Makes It Different? 8
Interactive Visualization The Need To increase the technical awareness level among peer agencies Ensure agencies see value in technology Interest in implementing the technique on their projects To streamline the delivery of interactive visual content creation Near term need to establish and implement processes Develop standards and specifications for procurement 9

The WHY NEXT GENERATION ENGAGEMENT 12
The WHY 2018 Workplace 5 Generations Represented MILLENNIALS GEN X BOOMERS BUILDERS GEN Z 13
The WHY 2025 Workplace Ohhhh. S*#! MILLENNIALS OTHER GENERATIONS 14
The WHY COMMUNICATION PREFERENCES SUMMARY: Authentic & Fast VIEW: Text, Instagram, Skype, Bitmoji ATTITUDE: Efficient & Mobile Friendly 15
The WHY WHY IS TODAY SO DIFFERENT? Exponential TIMES Millennials are a Critical Mass of Change Agents EXAMPLE MARRIOTT: 1 Million rooms since 1927 AIRBNB: 2 Million rooms since 2008 EXAMPLE NETFLIX: Only 8% of College students don t have access to Netflix (started in 2007) 16
Interactive Visualization Benefits 1. Interactive Visualization increases public participation in the outreach process Public and stakeholder involvement has become an integral part of the project development process 2. Interactive Visualization facilitates better and informed decision making Allows a wide range of end users including traveling public, homeowners, local stakeholders, regulatory agencies to visualize the future impacts of proposed project 3. Interactive Visualization appeals to younger generations of the public Becoming the preferred mode of communication in a social virtual world 17
Interactive Visualization Benefits 4. Interactive Visualization makes use of technological advancements in computer mediated engineering Use of 3D engineered design modeling, geospatial data and technologies 5. Interactive Visualization serves as an effective risk management tool. Can aid the quality control and technical review processes by allowing the project team to work with peer reviewers 6. Interactive Visualization fits into our future, the future. Expect agencies to keep pace with the use of technology they see in the private sector. 18
Interactive Visualization Cost Influenced by the geographic location and complexity of the project as well as the level of detail used in visualization. Higher for a multi year, multi phase, complex project in an urban environment Cost to establish a base model may remain low and fairly the same for projects in both urban and rural areas The inclusion of details such as buildings in the urban landscape significantly adds to the total cost. 19
Interactive Visualization Cost Cost Range: $25,000 to $300,000 Complex project in an urban area will cost about $150k $200k to communicate the overall description of the project, while visualization products to communicate construction phasing and maintenance of traffic plans will cost about $50k $100k. Not Only for Large Projects Recent complete street project in Downtown Las Vegas: $25,000 (3D Modeling, textures, traffic animation) Rural Intersection: $15,000 (2 D design files exported, basic representation of surrounding areas) 20
Interactive Visualization RFP Scope of Services Visit AII Webpage The SERVICE PROVIDER will develop an interactive model of the project corridor for the preferred alternative. The models will be built on the alignments and surface models created as part of the Engineering scope. The accuracy of the models will reflect the design development at the time, but the quality of the presentation will be realistic. The interactive model as described below consists of a realistic 3D model of the existing corridor, proposed project development and surrounding existing context that a user can navigate in real time. This is made possible due to using real time gaming engines such as Unity 3D or Unreal and the optimization of the assets within the model. This interactive model can be then used for a variety of visual experiences including: Image and video renders based on pre set cameras or from the free moving camera Interactive kiosks used via touch screens (can be used to develop image and video renders) 360 Degree virtual reality videos Other visual experiences such as driving simulator, mobile apps and augmented reality which are outside the scope of this current project but could be applied for future phases. 21
